Dretch Class

[typtyphus]

If anyone is working on a new design for a dretch, or anything dretch related, maybe it's best to post them here and other repost them, so it's packed into 1 nice topic.

To kick-off.
I finished modeling, now I need to figure out how to make a UV map, so i can make layered maps.

click here for large


The model is basicly finished.
I hope to get some UV's done do i can make a displacement map, bumb, normal ect. mappings,
so i can start rigging.

I've done this style of dretch on a earlier trial for a new 'rant. I wanted to have smooth like armor shells, but not too buglike appearance.
Compared to the body, the dretch has a big head. Deadly head bites. Also A big head fits a small/young class.

there are some failed dretch designs that are going to be origins for other classes.

Looks interesting, but adding the armour shell seems a bit contrary to the dretch which is more of a low health, speed alien.

[Aelita]

Looks like a replacement basi, if anything.

well cockroatches have the same armour shell-like features, still easy to crush them.I like it.

And a dretch can survive at least 1 bullet. So gameplay is affected much, only the visual part.
OH the armor has a more aerodynamical shape

Funny you'd notice.
I have an aborted sketch for the dretch wich I'm going to use for basi modeling.
Aside from size, their proportional differences are a bit close to each other.

Awesome!
Best work I've seen in ages.

OH yea big time

I like it a lot, but it seems to be too high off the ground, if that's its default position.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Another awesome model/thread from you, +1

[mooseberry]

It looks a bit too raised to me. My advice is to try to shorten the legs and maybe lengthen the body just a little to space out the legs a tiny bit. I think the problem is the legs seem too tall for something small and little buggy like.

[Meisseli]

Yes, the legs don't make it look like a high-speed creature it is, but otherwise, it's a brilliant dretch!

I'd like new alien models in 1.2 too, at least a better-looking Overmind and Tyrant

that might be right, plus i miss the original dretch's six small "pseudo leg" from the bottom

Agreed. A better OM and rant would be awesome!

[jez]

I like the current OM...

[Conzul]

I like the current OM...

Me too. But that rant model from the community spotlight would be kick ass.

I can get someone who is pretty good to model the OM for sure

[Firstinaction]

I call this BullRant. Took me 1 hour too make. This is my version of an evolved Tryrant class. I even have a low poly version of this model too.   I just have too rig him up then His legs will go down and look way better.

[Jack Bauer]

It looks good, but I dont see how it relates to a tyrant. I guess thats just because its only a head shot? And/or its unfinished? Anyway keep it up

[Asvarox]

I <3 his smile

[swamp-cecil]

you gotta admit, the dretch looks pretty cute like a new granger. anyways, keep up the good models. and that rant, no offence reminds me of a chicken, but better than i can ever do

[Firstinaction]

I call this on the scratcher. LOL just a quick show you of what i work on for  30 min. Now this one I wish I could texture.  But I dont now how to do it like tremulous characters

[typtyphus]

Anyplace where i can Upload .OBJ files?
I'm having trouble with the UVs. Can't find the right C4D Tutorial. So maybe someone can help or something.

If you want to see.

[TANK]

Looks awesome. Advanse dretch whith micropounce mode ?

[+ OPTIMUS +]

i like typtyphus' dretch much! +1!
i handle the jaws just like this with every aliens.
however, the front legs should be attached to the ground a bit more imho in the case of wallwalking aliens, to provide attaching surface (as seen on this old concept below):

zomg epic, looks a bit like a mosquito.
